Woman waits in California hospital for a bed to open up here
Wednesday, January 02 - 11:30:00 AM Lyle Fisher VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A Surrey woman's holiday in California has turned into a healthcare nightmare. The 68-year old needed emergency surgery after her appendix burst, but now she can't come home due to a lack of hospital beds. Arlene Meeks has been in a California hospital since December 17th. Her family has been trying to get her transferred back to the Lower Mainland for 2 weeks now but they haven't had any luck. Stephen Harris with the South Fraser Health Region says the issue is a shortage of ventilated intensive care unit beds, which are highly specialized. He says over the holidays, it's not surprising to see those beds filled up. Harris says as soon as a bed becomes available, Meeks will be transferred to a local hospital. Arlene's daughter Kim says her mom is 'frustrated as hell', and she just wants to come home. NDP Health Critic Adrian Dix says the issue is one that's continued to plague the Lower Mainland and he's blaming Liberal government cuts to acute care beds. "The number of acute care beds in British Columbia was reduced by 1,300 in the first mandate of the government, and some of the new facilities being opened won't be adding to that number." Dix says the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health authorities issued reports last fall indicating they are 650 acute care beds short right now. |

Those folks up there just need to pay more taxes. My friend in Holland told me the latest change to the 'free' health care over there. There has been such an influx of Moroccans and Turks, that money had to be found somewhere. They're already giving a huge percent (65% or so) to the government, so the government didn't want to raise taxes. Now the medical care is 'free' after the first 150 Euros are paid. My friend is expecting this to be raised next year. -- JohnH "Opa of 6" |

The trouble is, you right wingers only look for the bad things about any system you don't like. Why don't you find the good things, and post them as well, if you want to come off as balanced. Same with global warming! |
